Vista Valencia Golf Course

New golfer looking to hit a bucket. Went in and asked for a bucket. The guy running the shop said «large?» I replied yes. He said «that will be $ 12» I gave him a $ 20 and he gave me $ 8 back. When I went to the machine I looked at my receipt and saw he gave me a medium $ 10 bucket. At first I thought he just made a mistake. Then I looked at the tender. It said $ 10. This was intentional. He said $ 12 and charged me for $ 10 bucket and gave me $ 8 back. Instead of going back and confronting him I emailed the GM. Still haven’t heard anything back. Beware they have a thief working there.

Great course and great greens. It has a lot of unexpected break and the hazard is enough to challenge even those with low handicapper. The staff is great as well but the course ambassador is the best of these course. They are willing to give you a quick tip and not to mention that they bring cold water to you directly. Awesome place to play.

This could be a good course to play, but I endured a 5 ½ hour round. This would not be so remarkable for a public course in the LA vicinity, but this is a par 61. That’s 10 shots less than the average course and should play in less time. Now they are punching and sanding the greens, so it will be at least another month before it is playable. The cost was $ 22 to walk which is about right. They just need to use rangers as rangers and not «Ambassadors» to get people moving and playing faster. Do whatever it takes to educate and inform your customers about how to do this, or I won’t be one of them.

Please note greens were aerated, so I gave it 3 star. I wish the pro shop clerk told us or if had a sign at least?
Plus’s
Price is right! $ 15 with cart after 1pm, including 2 free drinks (ask for special).
Holes are challenging from blue tees
Hole 17 is beautiful! (Island green)
Minus’s
Hole 4 must have had a bee hive, back of green, on hill, where my ball flew over? Cause one bee was really aggressive & attacked us! It then flew to my gf who got stunk on her neck! Obviously we didn’t finish the hole… Strange?
Other that, overall it’s fun course.
Roxanne the bartender was nice to us.
Range is also nice & lot of places to practice chip & putt.

This course is always in above average condition. 18 holes, No par 5’s. Par 62. A learning course, so Saturday play can be slow. I enjoy M-​Thurs play. Look for the e-​specials; $ 10.95 to $ 26.99 (includes lunch, 2 beers, and range balls).
The kitchen staff is efficient and friendly. Full bar and tv’s. The best on-​course cold water service.
The sand traps can use more sand in the back 9. The 17^th island hole with elevated tees is special!
Adjacent par-​3 9 holes for short game work and walking.

With this being only one of the two public courses in the Santa Clarita valley, it is my home course. The guys that work the pro shop now are much better than the guy that was previously there most of the time. The price is very reasonable for the golf experience you get. And I say this as a person with realistic expectations who doesn’t demand country club conditions at at a public course (there are many of those).
The executive course is only a par 61 but it sure will test you with the many strategically placed bunkers and short par threes requiring a precise wedge swing. Conditions of the course as of late have been good to average overall. The greens roll nice after you repair the spike marks (stop dragging your darn feet!!) and three or so un-​repaired ball marks in your line .
The Chica/​nine hole par three course is a fun go as well with the longest hole at 150 yards. Beginners, PLEASE start here before moving onto longer courses. You’ll help yourself first, trust me.
Lastly, since there may be new golfers reading this review, I’ll close with the following (some of you may not want to read/​hear the rant).
–Be ready to hit when it is your turn. Leave it at one or two practice swings.
–Play from the Middle or Forward tees (yes, swallow your pride and don’t feel like you have to «get your moneys worth» by playing the full length of the golf course).
–When there are golfers behind you (waiting for you to finish) PICK UP your ball and move on after you’ve reached six strokes on a par 3 and eight strokes on a par 4.
–Do not spit, especially sun flower seed shells on the greens.
–That container of sand on your golf cart, please use it to fill in the divots you take from the tees and fairways.
Thanks for reading. Enjoy yourselves!

Ridiculous wait time. Set up a tee time for 2 for me and a client to have a round of business golf, and the course guy tried to force us on with another 2 pair so they can keep the course moving. We kindly declined and continues to play just us 2. We had to skip a hole because there was a 4 some that have never played golf and were just messing around with their girlfriends. Even after skipping them through the hole we literally had a wait at almost every hole, even though its an executive course that plays par 4s and par 3s. Best part of the day was Hole 17, best hole there. beautiful. The greens werent really that taken care of. and the fairways were beat up. not pleased.

Horribly managed golf course! Does not encourage young golfers at all! The youth lessons are terrible, boring and non-​engaging. Worth looking around and driving farther to find a better program for the up and coming player. This golf course is stuck in 1985 and not willing to make changes, upgrades or improvements to their course or programs. Keep looking!!!

Just played yesterday, and the greens are in bad shape, and when you look up to capture the views you see that there are lots of dead rotted trees especially around along the 5^th and 6^th holes. Although we are in a drought, a little more care in the landscaping would definitely make it a much better place to enjoy Golf. Also, the clubhouse is in much need of updating.

Greens are in nice shape and true. Nice quick course and for 20 you get balls, 18, 2 drinks and a burger.
Small par 3s on back are fun.
Go here to practice you game for a good price.

The course is great with plenty of challenges. Lost one in the water today. We also got stuck behind two groups of tourists today but you can’t beat the «All Inclusive» email deal. A round of golf, practice balls on the range, cart, lunch and two beers for $ 19.99!

On Sunday my friend and I went out to get in 18 holes. We understood that it was raining and we were well prepared for a wet weather round. What we were not prepared for was the Lightning that followed late in the afternoon. Look I fully understand that as a golfer if you decide to play in the rain then that is your prerogative. I would never ask for a refund or a rain check because of rain. What I do not understand is how a golf course doesn’t have a policy in place for lightning. Lightning is a danger to the lives of the golfer and should never be taken lightly. Play is always suspended on golf courses if lightning is even in the area. Vista Valencia Golf Course obviously cares more about their pockets then they do about the safety of their clientele. The pro shop guy actually told us we could continue playing if we wished to. This course has always had poor customer service and management but never have I ever encountered such gross negligence for human life. It will be a long time before I ever think of playing this place again! Which is sad because it’s actually a really nice little executive course.

One of my go-​to golf courses. Course is always in decent shape and thanks to golfzing it’s affordable to play here often. Can’t go wrong here.

Nice course, need to get back in shape! Service is a definite downer here — Lady working the grill was extremely rude, and the starter was like a Prison Guard!
Marshall was also less then friendly, and no on course service. Course staff needs Customer Service training!

I just played yesterday morning and was very pleased with the course. I am just getting back to playing after a year off due to health.
The course was in great shape and the greens were smooth and well maintained.
The pro shop attendant was pleasant and helpful. I wish I could say the same for the starter. He was very rude. Recited rules to me like I was a child! I tried to ask a question but he just turned and abruptly left.
I will probably go back anyway, but that guy was a real jerk.

This is a great driving range for my kids to practice on. I am not a fan of no dress code as it is hard to explain to my kids why some courses they have to dress nice and at vista you can wear anything you want :(I do like how easy it is to buy a bucket of balls I can sit on the grass and they can hit away ! This will for sure be a place we will visit to practice. When we are not taking lessons at Robertson Ranch.

This is one of my favorite courses because I think it is pretty. Usually well maintained and the cart girls are nice.

Where to start, the golf course ok but with a couple cons to note. Played last week and the starter Mike was unbelievably rude, and it’s not the first time, his attitude is a one of the reasons I’m not giving more stars, he doesn’t give you the time of day and talks to you like your stupid, had a 12:20 tee time and didn’t start until 1:10, and waited another 20 mins at hole 2, this always happens, sometimes as I drive up and see hole 2 is backed up I just turn around and go home. The fairways are not in the best condition and the greens are no better, last time I played the greens were covered in grass clippings and debris it was pretty bad, I do like playing there as it’s so close to home but that’s the only reason I play there
Edited: I have seen some wonderful improvements made to Vista Valencia, the fairways are looking good and so are the greens and bunkers (not that I’m ever in a bunker lol), they seem to be improving their start times also as the usual back up on hole number two isn’t happening as frequently, keep up the good work Vista Valencia

Nice golf course. Very long for an executive golf course — some holes 400+ yards. So not for beginners. They do have a short par 3 golf course here also.
The highlight of the course is the par 3, 17^th hole. You hit from an elevated tee onto an island. The green is completely surrounded by water and you have to access it by a bridge — very cool! A video of and pics of this hole is on my website and youtube channel.
Being in Santa Clarita — very hot!
There is a nice bar and café area.

Whether you are looking for a pitch and put or executive course, Vista Valencia has you covered. For a novice like myself, this is absolutely the best place in the SCV. Driving range was recently improved and I like what they have done.
The bar is great and serves a mean grilled cheese sandwich. Not to mention that the fries pleasantly surprised me.
Relaxing, friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Especially if you are learning the game like myself.
